host: you put a reference to kodak but wasn't that technology train -- changing? are you saying that the chinese people are taking jobs away from americans in terms of photo processing? caller: in general all jobs, china is taking jobs from america. guest: to really discuss this issue, you have to look at the broader context of globalization over the last 10-15 years. for the last decade, china has built a formidable export sector. it is clear that china had 600 million laborers that want to get jobs and they flocked to the cities and i built these huge export hubs. it is not a surprise that when people searched for lower-cost labor, there was a supply there. i think channel tends to frown on certain trading rules. that is something beijing and washington will continue to discuss and washington will continue to push china on adhering to these trade rules. the currency issue is not that big of an issue anymore for u.s. companies. the bigger issue is how to continue to access markets in china. host: you look at the new brahmi's up election -- the new burmese opposit
